How this discount calculator works
This calculator computes the discount amount and final price by applying a percentage discount to an original price.
- Discount Amount = Original Price × (Discount % ÷ 100)
- Final Price = Original Price - Discount Amount
- Savings Percent = (Discount Amount ÷ Original Price) × 100

Discount calculator FAQ
How do I calculate stacked discounts?
Apply the first discount to get a new price, then apply the second discount to that new price. Don't add them together.
How is discount different from markup?
Discount reduces the price from the original amount. Markup increases the cost to create the selling price. They use different base amounts in the calculation.
Should I buy during big sales?
Compare the final discounted price to other retailers and consider if you actually need the item. A discount on something you don't need isn't savings.
